Wondering if the price (about 3X other brands) is worth it?

Perhaps. This unit tends to go on sale once or twice a year at different retailers, usually for a 20%+ markdown. I would recommend that you not purchase this on impulse but, instead, create a Google alert to monitor the internet for price changes. For example, today this is on sale on the military exchange website for $251.99

Yes....definitely!!! It will last for the rest of your life and the lives of all your descendants. It is a remarkable piece of cookware. Happy cooking!

Haven't tried other brands. Everyone I know who has a Le Creuset says it'll last a lifetime so I figured it was worth the price.

Le Crueset is hand made from the sand molds to the hand applied ombre enamel. Made since 1925 in the same location in France, their pots have a lifetime/100 year warranty, whichever comes Last. Search out an outlet store, the prices are about 1/3 of department store prices. I love the pieces I have, I find I am cooking better when using better tools!

I wouldn't trade any of my Le Creuset Dutch ovens. For me it's worth every penny! I don't own other enameled cast iron ovens so it's hard for me to make a comparison.
36907
Yes, it definitely is. I wondered too, then I was given a cuisinart cast iron version. The cuisinart brand is heavier (definitely not a good thing since all cast iron is heavy, but add food, and it's really heavy), food Tends to stick more, and the enamel is hopelessly stained. Also, the le creusetIs prettier. Definitely much much better.
36908
Yes. We have purchased and thrown away at least three competitors over the years. We love this product.

Not in my world, I have the Cuisinart round and oval enamel over cast iron dutch ovens and they are fantastic. I got them from Woot, Amazons closeout sibling lol. They only cost about $50 when they have them on Woot. If you are not famaliar with Woot, just go to Woot.com Woot also has apps for your phone. If you have patience this is the way to go, in the two years I have been a Woot member they have had the Cuisinart dutch ovens twice that I know of, once when I bought mine, and again not too long ago. HTH.

If you can, I do not know.The price of the unit is a poor reflection of technology. If I were you, I would look elsewhere. What I have found in my life is price no longer reflects quality ... merely profit.

There's no explaining why different sites have different prices for the same items. I certainly don't know! LOL Go for the cheaper one. That's what I'd do. :-)

I have the dolica (bought from costco) the Mefoto feels slightly sturdier and has a better build quality but I do not think it warrants 2x the price. I have used the Dolica on and off for the past month and its excellent for the price...If they were the same price I would easily pick the mefoto over the dolica though

That does seem a bit high for the list and selling price. The 24x18x2.25 is only $76.57 right now, which is cheaper than the 20x15. Go for that.

I don't know how much more the T3 is - I really do like mine. You have to be careful to keep the air intake clear of fuzz because that will cut your air flow dramatically and, I would think, shorten the life of the motor. So do think about that. Price is relative. I say buy the best you can afford and take care of it so it lasts. It's a beautiful dryer also.

I have been using it from past 3 months, on an average it should last upto year with the good durability and quality, I would say certainly best buy for that price, just go for it!!

Good website. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. I will probably go with the first one an get the software if needed. good advice. The new one looks pretty, gut I don't spend money if there isn't enough upgrade to justify the added espense.

I dont know why its cheaper, prices definitely vary depending on brands and sizes of supply. I also haven't used a more expensive brand but I can tell you that this brand has worked for me. It has dramatically suppressed my appetite without side effects which has made dieting easier and I have been losing weight. Inexpensive doesn't always mean lesser quality!

You'd be hard pressed to find objective reviews...all of these products are relatively decent, so the main considerations are going to be the price, and how they sound to your ears. Honestly you should try to find a store that lets you compare them.

Depends on two things: 1) How expense (or cheap) was the purchase price originally; and most important, 2) are you happy with the performance of your printer? If everything is working fine and you are happy it is worth the cost. If you really want a better printer or a printer with different abilities and your present printer is a few years old, and you find a new printer that is a great buy with new features YOU WILL USE then save the printhead money go new!

Hello. If you can afford the 3, get it...if the other might be too small, why take a chance? You'll be able to use it more! By the way, ALL-CLAD "rocks"! You'll never be sorry for selecting that maker!!! Professional cook-ware!

Hi Daniell.. I did not look, I figure the price was cheap enough.. But that is something that you should find out if that is important to you. Have a great day

Hi Thomas... In my opinion, it is definitely worth the investment. You can go cheaper, but there will always be that nagging concern about it falling apart at the most inopportune moment. One never regrets investing in quality.

Is that a real question? :) Seriously, this is an almost too good to be true deal. haven't done the analysis but it's definitely not instant. We've used this brand before and it's same quality.

I have 3 bees and love em. For the price, they can't be beat. The only time you would really need to worry about inconsistent light output would be if you were shooting a catalog or something like that. But I'm sure you'd be renting profoto if that was the case. Besides, you can always fix white balance in post.

Worth every penny! However, I don't have much experience with other brands so I wouldn't be able to say.
